Description of manuscript content:
Kammavaca, the formal words of the act using at an ordination ceremony. The text was written in Pali.
Colophon:
Folio 9 on the recto side: In BE 2469, a hwai nyi year, on the second waning day of the eighth [lunar] month, [the writing was finished]. Lasakhu Khamphilapanya and all monks and novices had the religious faith to support the making, bundling, changing the string and the wooden protective cover and also the cotton cover of all manuscripts of Vat That to be more beautiful, some damaged manuscripts were rewritten and replaced as they could do. These were finished on the fourteenth waxing day of the ninth [lunar] month. May the benefit of the merit of what I have done support me. In all of my future lives, may I have my mind not be distracted in the eight Lokadhamma (Worldly conditions). May I succeed in the great meditation, in morality and in dāna (almsgiving) in mind to last until I finally enter Nirvāna. Sādhu sādhu anumodāmi (Amen! Amen! I rejoice).
Other notes:
(Well done! We say amen).
